On Friday evening David Tomb will be guiding gallery visitors through the wonders of the mysterious jungle terrain of Mindanao that he has re-created in his assemblages for his show Grand Birds of the Philippines.
The artists of Electric Works Mission Street Studios will open their doors, inviting you to connect with San Francisco’s creative community.

Step into the gallery and you step into the magnificence of David Tomb’s Mindanao jungle. With luminous and colorful paper assemblages Tomb conveys the spatial depth of Mindanao and the grand birds that live there. A 12-foot high 15-foot wide wall piece of a life size Philippine Eagle nest site commands the gallery.

With this exhibition and with his Jeepney Projects Worldwide, Tomb brings attention to the challenges and tensions these grand birds face in order to survive and share a sustainable future with an ever-growing Filipino population.
